I want to play gta 5 on my pc but my specs are not good. I want to buy a graphics card so that i can play it. I have 2 options one is buy zotac gt 1030 and gta 5 game disk. Or second is buy gtx 750 ti without game. If i buy gtx 750 ti without game i have to wait 5-6 month for buying the game. So should i buy gtx 1030


Plz tell me.

I have a intel Pentium dual core e5700 3ghz processor with 6gb ram. I saw many videos on youtube who play gta 5 with same processor, 2gb ram and gt 210. So i think i will be able to play it on e5700 with 6gb ram and gt 1030 on medium settings
 
The only thing I'd worry about is 1030 compatibility with your older motherboard, otherwise I"d buy the 1030+game. I don't think your CPU would really see much difference between the 750 Ti and 1030, framerate should be about the same. The thing is, it's possible the 750 Ti might be more compatible with your motherboard.

So since you know which 1030 you would buy, contact zotac and ask if it works with older motherboards that do not have a UEFI bios.

I think it will support because my motherboard have pcie x16 port and all graphics card have backward compatibility with gen 2 pcie port. Then also i will confirm it.

But which one should i buy?

I found a gtx 750 ti 1gb for the same price as gt 1030 on amazon.in. I think i should buy it. It has more power than gt 1030 and in same price.
